In reply to: Sanlin 's message, "Here you go, ‘chelle… :-D" on 08:07:50 03/03/01 Sat

FOREVER

There are no clocks
Or punch cards, in Hell;
No calendars or seasons,
Shifting sand or tolling bells.

No cock has crowed,
But I have been denied;
There’s only heart’s blood left to give,
Even though I know she lied.

This wilderness is the distance
That’s grown up, surrounding us.
My soul is splintered; honor, uprooted—
Unspent passions are still the screen between us.

I am your ascetic, wrapped in silence,
Meditating upon your love’s perfection;
But a solitary chill suspends my heart;
You are my soul’s reflection.

Outside of time, beyond reason, I remain;
Irony is the wound, in my side, that will not heal:
You’ve killed my spirit, to save my life,
Embracing my desolate doctrine of denial, with zeal.

Light cannot exist, in this space,
And never will come a dawn or thawing sun
Until your love dwells, forever, with mine:
Our souls no longer separate, but joined, as one.

*Sanlin’s Muses blow a kiss at ‘chelle, then allow their writer to trundle back off to her roost…* ;-D

late to the party. ((Sanlin)) I'm always amazed by how your few chosen words, carefully placed, say so much more than pages of prose. Hoot Hoot!BBoX16:40:19 03/06/01 Tue

Dear Sanlin... where have you been hiding? I've missed your gift for beautiful phrases that stay with me long after I've read them. Yet another thoughtful, hauting piece. Thank you! (NT)Caro22:34:41 03/12/01 Mon
